  • Why do Shorts (and Reels, and Stories, and whatever other catchy names they give short form videos) even exist?

  • Seems easier to just not use Apple Maps tbh

  • Cashier: presents EFTPOS machine Cheque, savings, or credit?

    Customer: Savings... More like SPENDINGS, amiright Cashier!? Wooooo! High five for the amazing joke! Up high!

  • I never used to care about politics (you can thank the NBN debacle for opening my eyes), but its so hard to watch anything on free to air TV without noticing the massive positive bias towards the Liberals now. Everything is worded to ensure you take away the message they are pushing, as opposed to learning the facts. Half the news stories just end up as advertorials for Liberal policy with no balance or critique. Its no wonder people who dont really give a shit end up so anti-Labor/Greens without even realising why.

    Was kinda happier being oblivious tbh.

  • Construction companies be rubbing their hands together over the thought that the CFMEU may lose some of its power.

  • So, for me, 90 percent of the time this function would be firmly set to β€œoff”.

    I bought a car that has heated seats and a heated steering wheel that I've never used, and being in Australia will probably never use. It did not detract from the rest of the cars functionality including its main purpose which is to get me from A to B.

    I suspect the optional functionality of this hardware button will be similar.

  • It's a tag, that works well as a tag.

    Also, you can use it as a remote shutter should you wish to place your phone somewhere and take the photo from somewhere else - like standing in front of a famous landmark, or wanting to be in a group photo instead of being behind the camera.

    Seems like a no brainer bit of useful add-on functionality to supplement its primary usage.

  • Samsung being a shit company aside, this "really strong" chemical smell is just going to be a burnt out fan motor / hot joint in a cable causing the insulation to smolder / some food spilt over the defrost heater / or something equally benign.

    There's just nothing in a domestic fridge that can cause a whole house full of people to get all these mysterious symptoms. Any bets on the "racing heart rate" and what not being a panic attack brought on by getting all flustered?

  • It won't be refrigerant. It's colourless, odorless, and tasteless. Burning something like R22 back in the day would give you the stink because it had chlorine in it, but you wouldn't even notice 600/290 burning. It doesn't even had the odorant in it like propane and butane.

  • I’m yet to see R600a in Australian domestic fridges

    That's pretty much all they are. I'd be surprised if you find anything BUT hydrocarbons fridges. Even commercial units are going to hydrocarbons now.

  • During school holidays, my commute is around 25 minutes each way.

    Outside of school holidays, my commute is around 40 minutes each way.

    How do kids who start school at 9:00am ruin my commute at 6:30am?

  • It legitimately tastes like pavlova! Definitely sweet, has that... pavlova... taste. I suspect theres a hint of strawberry as the ice cream is slightly pink. I think they had marshmellow on top of the container in the cabinet but there's none in the ice cream itself.

    You can pretty much buy anything* and it tastes amazing.

    * - I'm not vouching for the vegan stuff, never tried it.

  • willing to burn through public funds in order to gain geopolitical advantages over their adversaries.
